WASHINGTON (WNS) -The only major obstacle to adoption of a trade bill giving most favored nation status to the Soviet Union is whether Congress or the President will determine the results of a United-States- Soviet understanding allowing 60,000 Jews and others to emigrate annually from the USSR, according to Capitol Hill. Key Congressional figures involved in the Jackson-Mills-Vanik amendments to the Trade Reform Act insist that both Houses of Congress must approve legislation each year to allow trade benefits to the Soviet Union to continue. The Administration is demanding, that the President report annually on Soviet emigration practices and if the House or Senate is dissatisfied, it could then vote against further benefits.
LONDON (WNS) - A new wave of officially- sponsored anti-Semitism is "rampant" in the Soviet Union.,This was the conclusion of a two-day in¬ ternational legal conference on the question of Soviet Jewish emigration attended by 43 eminent lawyers from 20 countries, Israeli Supreme Court Justice Haim Cohen said, the conference also concluded that the Soviet authorities were breaking their own laws in harassing persons who have applied for emigration visas. The conference statement will be sent to Chief Soviet Prosecutor Roman Rudenko with a proposal that Soviet and Western lawyers should-cooperate to protect human rights in the USSR.
NEW YORK (WNS) — President Ford's un- ' conditional pardon of former President Nixon has been strongly criticized by the American Jewish Congress and the Workmen's Circle. In a letter to Ford, William Stern, executive director of the Workmen's Circle, said that in accepting "a faint-hearted, insincere declaration of contrition in return for a halt to further prosecution, we feel you have acknowledged a double standard of justice in our nation." Stern said the letter was written on behalf of his organization's 60,000 members. The AJCongress, in a resolution adopted by its executive committee, declared that it "deplores President Ford's pardon of Richard M. Nixon prior to any judicial action as both unwise and unwarranted. In our judgement, the American people will correctly view the pardon as an act of special consideration available only to the powerful and well connected."
Kissinger Urges Settling Conflict Without Wars At United Nations Annual General Assembly
UNITED NATIONS (WNS) — "The urgent
political responsibility of our era is to resolve conflicts
without war," Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger told the 29th annual session of the General Assembly. He told the 138 member-nations that it was in the common interest of each of them "that local conflicts be resolved short of force and their root causes removed by political means." However, Kissinger warned against "attempts to resolve all issues at one time" noting that "exaggerated ex¬ pectations will prevent
. essential, accommodations among the'parties." He noted that the Middle East "starkly demonstrates these considerations." Kissinger offered no new observations on the Mideast but warned that while "we have achieved the respite of a cease-fire and of two disengagement agreements. . . the shadow of war remains. "He said it was the "solemn responsibility" of the UN members "to en¬ courage and support the parties in the Middle East on their present course" towards peace. Kissinger said President Ford asked him to "reaffirm" that the U.S., will continue the effort

made during the last year to promote a Mideast peace. "We will work closely with the parties and we will cooperate with all interested countries within the framework of the Geneva conference," he said. Kissinger, defined the Mideast conflict as one in which "one side seeks the recovery of territory and
justice for a displaced people" and "the other side seeks security and recog¬ nition by its neighbors of its legitimacy as a nation. In the end, the common goal peace surely is broad enough to embrace all these aspirations."
Kissinger also expressed concern over the proliferation of nuclear
weapons "as if restraint were automatic" and hinted he had reservations over the policy of the United States and some other countries which "have widely supplied nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. "He made no mention, however, of President Nixon's un¬ dertaking last June to sell

Gromyko Asserts Israel Should Exist
United Nations (WNS) - — The Soviet Union "stands in favor of Israel existing and developing as an in¬ dependent sovereign state," Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko declared in an-address to the 29th session of the General Assembly. He indicated that the USSR would resume diplomatic relations with Israel if "real, not illusory progress" is made toward a Middle East settlement. Gromyko claimed that the Soviet position in the Mideast cannot be con¬ sidered one-sided since it supports "the legitimate demands of the Arabs and "reflects intolerance of aggression in general." He urged the prompt resump¬ tion1 of the Geneva peace conference which he described as "the midst appropriate forum for considering the Middle East problems." He said the time has come for deeds rather than words "to assure, the legitimate rights of the Arab people in Palestine" who "must take their rightful
place at the (Geneva) conference."
While avoiding his previous anti-Israel and anti-Zionist diatribes; Gromyko took some swipes at Israel, reiterating Soviet demands for Israeli with¬ drawal from all the Arab lands seized in 1967. He contended that Israel
regards the disengagement agreements with Egypt and JSyria "as a maneuver in¬ tended to freeze the situation." He said that unless the "legitimate rights of the Arab people of Palestine" are secured "there can be no stable peace in the Middle East."

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Against the backdrop of continuing negotiations between U.S. and Soviet officials on the issue of Jewish emigration, the Greater New York Con¬ ference on Soviet Jewry this week pledged "constant vigilance," so that Soviet Jews "will not become victims of another Soviet hoax." The sale of wheat to the Soviets and other "political deals" that benefitted the USSR "un¬ derscore the need for watchfulness in any arrangement with the Kremlin on emigration of Jews," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Greater New York Conference.
The Soviets "make deals when they suit their own purposes^ not out of any humanitarian instincts. We cannot and must not play the
